Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Offline & relinking workflow

  • Offline & relinking workflow

    Posted by Accountclosedduetonorealnameused on May 22, 2006 at 2:26 pm

    I will be getting a Final Cut Project in HD for an edit.
    I would like to bump it down to SD to do the edit, (using Media Manager preumably) then basically relink the files to the HD source for final output.
    I will NOT have access to the original tapes so recapturing is not an option.

    My Questions:

    Is this possible to relink to bump down to SD then relink to HD?

    Is there a tutorial of this workflow anywhere?

    Can anyone who has doem this give me any tips/advice?

    thanks!

    I think I’d try using the offlineRT HD settings that match the frame rate of your source (using media manger is the way to do this)… rather than SD, which would create much larger files, and if the frame rate doesn’t match, could be a problem later, so use what’s designed to be used for this, and you’ll be home free to reconnect…

    Offline RT is waaaaay smaller than SD. So no worries, mate.

    Is the project digitized in DVCPRo HD? If so then there’ no reason to recompress into SD. Do you have a Kona2 card or similar?
